Abstract

In one embodiment, a networking device in a network causes formation of device clusters of devices in the network. The devices in a particular cluster exhibit similar characteristics. The networking device receives feedback from a device identity service regarding the device clusters. The feedback is based in part on the device identity service probing the devices. The networking device adjusts the device clusters based on the feedback from the device identity service. The networking device performs anomaly detection in the network using the adjusted device clusters.
